The hypothesis that stability of self-esteem would moderate the predictive relationship between level of self-esteem and depression was tested. Specifically, level of self-esteem was hypothesized to relate more strongly to subsequent depression for individuals with stable self-esteem than for individuals with unstable self-esteem. Results strongly supported this hypothesis. Implications for the relation between level of self-esteem and depression, and for the moderator variable approach to personality and prediction, are discussed.
关于自尊稳定性会调节自尊水平与抑郁之间预测关系的假设得到了检验。具体而言，相对于自尊不稳定的个体，自尊稳定的个体的自尊水平被假设为与随后的抑郁有更强的关联。结果有力地支持了这一假设。文中还讨论了自尊水平与抑郁之间的关系，以及人格和预测方面的调节变量方法的意义。
